Re: Diagrams of the tape-O-matic

If you are desperate to create readable copies, try to scan the originals on a color scanner. there are stitching programs
that allows the pieces to be reassembled and realigned. Then use a photo editor and selectively drop out colors and change
contrast settings before final shrink down and conversion to gray scale.

As Jon said, "A lot of work".
